The tour was the highlight of the trip! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the food and the history. He was so entertaining, and the food was FABULOUS! I was full halfway through, but couldn't stop eating, especially when we got to the cannoli!

I was hesitant to go on a food tour. I wasn't sure if it would be worth the time or money. I was WRONG. One of the best things I've done in NYC! Our guide was amazing and had so much knowledge! I will do another! WORTH EVERY PENNY.

I am not the tour type. I live in NYC and got this as a gift but was skeptical. I couldn't have been more wrong. What a great time! Not only does the guide entertain, she feeds you! We were treated like VIP’s everywhere. BEST GIFT EVER.
